FOR THE SAKE OF LENR- INTELLECTUAL HONESTY AND TECHNOLOGICAL GENEROSITY.

MOTTO

A firm basis for intellectual honesty is being open to the possibility that the truth is not what you want to hear. (Unknown)In a message to Brandon Hurd, Andrea Rossi has appreciated that EGO OUT is an intellectually honest blog - and this is really my intent, trend, effort, mode of thinking/writing. However, in my blog essays I have always told exactly what I think about Rossi's actions, for good or bad. Even if I understand that he is always under attack from two sides- by many difficult problems of the technological development (and I know these not from books!) and by an imaginary however barely visible, but potentially dangerous competition, I still cannot understand why he has wasted the opportunity to create a shining certainty as described in: http://egooutpeters.blogspot.ro/2011/05/call-for-perfect-e-cat-experiment.htmlkilling the idiotic wet steam problem once for ever.I have dedicated more than 1/3 of my life to LENR and when I will go downstairs alI can take with me are my certainties bought at a high price- and the certainty thatCold Fusion LENR was a good choice can be a Koh-i-Noor among them. The great technological certainty of my life. Have seen it growing up after a terrible childhood.I well know, IP is IP, know how has to be protected- however what would Rossi risksending a few Maciste-like Hot Cat reactors to selected searchers? The first names coming to my mind are Parkhomov, MFMP and Brian Ahern.If intellectual honesty is defined by the Motto, technological honesty (and generosity) is helping the world to hear the the truth and reality it wants- in this casethat the Era of LENR energy will come relatively soon.In the worst-worst case no HotCat is allowed to go outside IH, Rossi could aka collaborator to perform in-house the primitive and crazy test proposed by me: take a Hot Cat charged with the fuel mixture, immerse it in a molten tin bath ( as those used in the float glass manufacture) and heat it lentissimo up to 1100-1300 C. if it gives excess heat, spectacularly (but not too!) and this lasts more glorious days, then two hypotheses of your faithful blogger are confirmed:a) excess heat at >1100 C is a new phenomenon, not identical with what warm cats give;b) the unique triggering condition of this kind of excess heat is the critical temperature.True? Not true?Vederemo! Vederemo?Peter

Oxford to Milan LENR Cities gather new energy neighbors:

Polaritons are composite half-light half-matter quasiparticles that arise from a strong coupling between infrared photons and electric dipoles (excitons), which are the electron and the associated hole of a dipole.

Electrons on the surface of metal are free to move. They are set into motion by the electric field of the infrared light that shines on the surface of a metal particle. This light energy “pumps” energy into the electrons.

The energetic particle is polarized and there is a positively charged side and a negatively charged side. The electrons are attracted to the positive side, this produces a restoring force. The electron oscillates between the positive and negative sides of the particle. The magnitude of these oscillations are quantized and are called “surface plasmons”.

A perfect infrared light reflector like nickel will keep infrared light confined very close to its surface. The surface plasmon will couple with the light confined on the surface of the metal when the energies of the SP and the photon are equal and the photon will change the dipole oscillation waveform so the magnetic field of the hybrid wave is perpendicular to the vector of the wave.

A SPP can keep together for a long time before it falls apart. When it holds together, it is called a dark polariton. When it gives up its light energy, it is called a bright polariton.

The tubercles on the nickel powder act as phase masks to produce a vortex of polaritons. Under the influence of the tubercles, the SPPs spin in a circle and give and take energy so that all the SPPs that live inside this vortex are the same waveform. One soliton can influence another over the entire system through the tranfer of EMF so that eventually all the SPPs are the same waveform and all the dipoles are oscillating in unison.

In general in the presence of SPPs, any irregular feature on the surface or edge or crack in a metal will produce SPP solitons.

This vortex is itself a quasi particle where all the polaritons that enter the vortex settle to the same energy through whispering gallery wave interference (Fano interference).

This dark mode soliton is a dense ball of EMF that gets very strong as heat and/or nuclear energy is pumped into the SPP system; think ball lightning but completely dark.

As quasi particles, it is these dark mode solitons that will form the Bose Einstein Condinsate (BEC) through the transfer of infrared photons and bright SPPs between all the solitons on the tubicle face of all the nickel powder.

Interestingly, bright mode SPPs will transfer their light based energy from the infrared photon to the SP when the SPP breaks up. In this way being paced by the energy of the dipole, the frequency of light in a system will shorten bing produced by the increased energy of the SPP up to extreme ultraviolet and soft x-rays as nuclear energy flows into the system.

I think of this BEC as all the polaritons in a given system oscillating back and forth in unison on the surface of the nickel micro particles and when they reach the edge of the particle, they jump off and spin in unison around inside the vortex before they travel back to the positively charge edge of the particle.

Unless this SPP based BEC formation process is established in the nickel micro particles, when the nanoparticles first appear later on in the evolution of a system when the supercritical gas based nanoparticle formation process sets in, these nanoparticle based SPPs will act locally and produce hot spots. But if a SPP BEC is in place, the new nano SPPs will transfer their excess energy throughout the system under the influence of the SPP BEC. In this energy sharing between SPP solitons, the flow of nuclear energy is well distributed throughout the LENR system.

Finally, the SPP dark mode soliton is a magnetic monipole. The special magnetic field that this soliton produces will affect nuclear activity of nearby matter to enable transfer of that excess binding energy through the soliton and be distributed throughout the LENR system.

We might think of an SPP soliton as a sort of lighthouse that shoots out a powerful magnetic beam that pulses in time as the SPPs oscillates back and forth over the particle and orbits briefly around its negatively charged tubercle covered edge at terahertz frequencies

RE: Technological honesty.Giving a select few reactors to test may, in the mind of AR, color the progress of LENR by creating a bias toward his way of doing things. It would be more technologically honest to force (allow) others to follow their own creative path to success, eh? A bias toward the Rossi way may well blind others to potential discoveries that only error and serendipity can reveal. His withholding IP may end up being in the best interest of the field.

Actually there are and Rossi has more ways to do the things; here is about the technical aspect of building those reactors. Eliminating fragility, making them able to work for long time. Nothing to do with Rossi's PR andanybody is free to use his/her creativity to imagine and build better, best reactors/ Why should we restrict anything? THIS is a great opportunity to demonstrate high power high, white cats, black cats all are good if they catch mice. Just now Rossi is a good cat breeder.Peter

Axil,Enjoyed your description of the polaritons and plasmons. Just one part tripped up me following the explanation & that is when you describe BEC. I had thought that BCE could only be formed at very (very) low temperatures and became very unstable unless kept there ?

The physical reality of what the SPP means is not easy to find or understand in the literature.

The SPP condensate is even more obscure. But there are hundreds of papers on that subject. Just Google "exciton-polariton bose-einstein condensation".

The SPP is 10^-6 as heavy as the electron. The temperature of BEC formation is proportional to the mass of the particle. A particle with a very small mass will have a very high condensation temperature.
